America, warts and all, with her people of all shapes/sizes/proclivities/etc., accounts for 4% of the planet's population.

And yet, this minority of the world produces 24% of global GDP and accounts for 37% of the world's $69 trillion in equity market value and 43% of corporate bond market capitalization.

We didn't get here via a 35-hour work week.

I used to work forty hours as a tech rep, maintain five acres and run a part time used furniture business involving going to two or three auctions a week, hauling a load back and putting it on display and helping my wife run the store. I took a little time off to sleep and eat but not much. Saturday was my day off from the regular job but it was the busiest day at the store so Sunday was the only day I got any time off and I worked some on Sundays. I actually enjoyed it but eventually had to close it because my wife could not take the strain any longer and she had far more time to relax than I ever did. I realized later than I should have given up the tech rep job and enlarged the business. Then I could have hired some help.
